FIREPSYCHE advances mental toughness concepts and skills using the platform of the VALOR Mindset. While obviously speaking to the nobility and character of firefighters, the term is also meant to serve as a reminder to firefighters of essential psychological skills that characterize their profession and enhance their efforts. VALOR is an acronym for Vigilance, Awareness, Leadership and Optimal Resilience. The overriding goal of FIREPSYCHE and the VALOR Mindset is to provide firefighters with a foundation in the psychological skills of mental toughness that can promote optimal discipline, safety, survival and success on the fireground and for all emergency calls.

Even though Going Deep was written to help undercover officers survive the psychoemotional stress of covert operations, this book has broad-based applicability to police work in general. Using the strategies and techniques in Going Deep can help improve and, perhaps, even save your life both physically and emotionally. Its beneficial effects will extend to your family, friends and loved ones.
